# CAN Network Example
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
The CAN Network Example demonstrates communication between two ESP32 modules (master
|
|
and slave) using the CAN2.0B protocol. CAN is a multi-master protocol, therefore
|
|
the concept of master/slave in this example refers to which node initiates
|
|
and stops the transfer of a stream of data messages. The example also includes
|
|
an optional **Listen Only module** which can passively receive the CAN messages
|
|
sent between the master and slave module without participating in any CAN bus activity.
|
|
|
|
The CAN Network Example will execute the following steps over multiple iterations:
|
|
|
|
1. Both master and slave go through initialization process
|
|
2. The master repeatedly sends **PING** messages until it receives a **PING_RESP**
|
|
from the slave. The slave will only send a **PING_RESP** message when it receives
|
|
a **PING** message from the master.
|
|
3. Once the master has received the **PING_RESP** from the slave, it will send a
|
|
**START_CMD** message to the slave.
|
|
4. Upon receiving the **START_CMD** message, the slave will start transmitting
|
|
**DATA** messages until the master sends a **STOP_CMD**. The master will send
|
|
the **STOP_CMD** after receiving N **DATA** messages from the slave (N = 50 by
|
|
default).
|
|
5. When the slave receives the **STOP_CMD**, it will confirm that it has stopped
|
|
by sending a **STOP_RESP** message to the master.
|
|
|
|
## External Transceiver and Pin Assignment
|
|
The CAN controller in the ESP32 **does not contain an internal transceiver**.
|
|
Therefore users are responsible for providing an external transceiver compatible
|
|
with the physical layer specifications of their target ISO standard (such as
|
|
SN65HVD23X transceivers for ISO 11898-2 compatibility)
|
|
|
|
The CAN controller in the ESP32 represents dominant bits to the transceiver as
|
|
logic low, and recessive bits as logic high. The Network Example utilizes the
|
|
following default pin assignments
|
|
|
|
* TX Pin is routed to GPIO21
|
|
* RX Pin is routed to GPIO22
|
|

## Note
|
|
If there appears to be no activity on the CAN bus when running the example, users
|
|
can try running the `can_self_test` example to verify if their transceivers are
|
|
wired properly. |
